Just to be clear, there's a big difference between socialism and the dictatorship that characterized the Soviet Union prior to it's dissolution. There's also a big difference between what communism was intended to be and the dictatorship that characterized the Soviet Union prior to it's dissolution. Also, while Boris has stated that Russia has moved on, it's not clear at all that we have really seen a transition to a stable democracy. Things moved considerably backwards under Putin and Medvedev and it's hard to predict where things will wind up in the future. Hopefully the current events in Egypt and Tunisia will give all dictators and dictator wannabe's something to think about.

Just to be clearer yet, there are many who do not even know what Socialism is other than a word used to incite things that really should not be stirred up around here.
B~C - don't them Urals come all rigged for a sidecar? You could haul one of them tennis players around.

| The do. I looked them up after mention here. Pretty "retro" looking w/ a sidecar like they were built in the 30/40's. I'm not a m/c guy, but they were pretty cool looking. |

| Since we're all being so honest here, I should point out that I didn't even know what a Ural was until I searched The Google. I figured B~C was having trouble peeing or something and the Patrol thing was some sort of an appliance. |

| I believe that with that side car contraption, if you tried to corner to fast a person may pee themselves....unles you had some imported tennis gal in there for ballast |
